Spoeank posted:Statcast is going to have "hit probability" and "catch probability" based on historical launch angle/exit velocity data. This is really cool. Until now, only raw statcast data has been publicly available. Like, you can look at the exit velocity leaderboard and see that so-and-so hits the ball really hard. But now we're getting stats derived from the raw numbers. Soon we could have stats like expected batting average (xBA), telling you what a hitter's AVG should've been, based on where and how hard he hit the ball. And xOBA, and xERA for pitchers. And defense stats that don't rely on human observers, like UZR and DRS do, and are way more precise.

Your Taint posted:JHey is 0-13 this spring. I know nothing about hitting, but I was at the games today and yesterday, and noticed that while he's starting with his hands lower, he brings them up back to where they were last year as the pitcher starts his windup. The hitch is still there, too. Thankfully, that's what spring training is for!

Giants 1B coach Jose Alguacil was hit in the head by a foul line drive and airlifted to a hospital  quote:Giants first base coach Jose Alguacil has been diagnosed with a broken nose and a laceration, the team announced Saturday evening. Alguacil also suffered small fractures in his eye socket. It's too bad because he's by all accounts a terrific guy.

This is purely anecdotal/observation and so is subject to all of those types of biases but it seems to me like baseball players suffer from the sign big contract --> fall of cliff scenario than athletes in other American sports.

Apparently the Jays are one of the teams interested in Lawrie . If he could be had for cheap and his ego allows him to be a bench player I would be OK with that , probably a better backup (offensively anyway) than barney or goins in case Travis keeps getting injured

I'm just having fun, we loved J-Hey but it was soooooo obvious he wasn't gonna be worth the money. As a reminder at first people just said this guy is huge, why can't he hit home runs.

I don't know, I think it's just that if I were a member of a union that's had decades of having management try to gently caress me over at every opportunity, that's the kind of information I'd be uncomfortable with my employer having access to.
